    TINKERCAD CIRCUIT INTERFACE
                     The Tinkercad circuit interface is a part of the Tinkercad platform that allows users to design and

                     simulate electronic circuits.

     In this chapter, you will learn how circuits work by creating simple projects like lighting up
     LEDs and using switches in Tinkercad. You will also discover how microcontrollers and Arduino   Toolbar  Start/stop Simulation
     control these circuits.

                                                                                                    Component Library

     WHAT IS A CIRCUIT?
                                              Workspace
     A  circuit is  a pathway  for electricity  to  flow.  It is  made up  of different
     electrical components that are connected to allow electric current to pass
     through.  Circuits  are used  in  electronic  devices, robots  and  machines  to
     make them work.

     TYPES OF CIRCUITS
                     Here’s an overview of the components of the Tinkercad circuit interface:
     There are two main types of circuits:
                         Project Name: This is the title of the current project in Tinkercad. You can rename the project
     Series Circuit     by clicking on this section.

     In  a series  circuit,  all  components  are connected  in a single path. The     Toolbar: The toolbar contains various buttons and tools to interact with the circuit editor. It
     electricity flows through each component one by one. If one component   helps you manipulate components like notes, wires, wire types, rotation, deletion and more
     fails or is turned off, the entire circuit is interrupted. For example, if one bulb   within the circuit.
     in Christmas lights goes out, all the lights turn off.    Code: This section gives access to the code editor where you can program the components in

                        the circuit. It allows you to control the components in the simulation.
     Parallel Circuit    Start/stop Simulation: This button starts the simulation and tests your circuit. Click it again to

     A parallel circuit has multiple paths for electricity to flow. Each component is   stop or pause the simulation.
     connected to its own independent path. If one component stops working, the     Views: This section offers options for adjusting the display view of the circuit, like zooming in
     others continue to function. For example, in a house, if one light bulb burns out,   or out or changing the layout.
     the other lights stay on.    Component List: This section shows a list of all the components in the current project. You can

                        select and use them in your circuit.

                         Send To: This button allows you to share the project or send it as a link or in a format that
     TINKERCAD CIRCUIT  others can use.

     Tinkercad Circuit is an online simulation tool that allows users to design, build and test electronic     Component Library: The component library displays various components such as resistors,
     circuits without using physical components. It is part of Tinkercad, a beginner-friendly platform by   LEDs and motors. You can drag these into the circuit editor and it is organised by categories
     Autodesk for learning electronics, coding and 3D design.  like Basic, Sensors and more.
